Thank you to all residents who participated in the public engagement on Vacation Rental Regulations! The engagement is now closed.

A "What We Heard" report will summarize all feedback collected. This report will be posted on this page and presented to Rocky View County Council along with the updated regulations. Please check back on this page for updates.

Vacation rentals are short-term rentals that provide accommodation for guests for up to 30 days. They can support local economies, provide additional income opportunities for residents, and offer unique lodging options for visitors to the County. Rocky View County is home to numerous vacation rentals, primarily located on the County's west side.

To provide clarity and consistency for existing operators and to guide future applicants, the County is seeking public feedback on proposed rules and regulations for vacation rentals, which includes the following key areas:

• Vacation rentals may only be offered by operators on parcels which are also their primary residence.
• The maximum number of guests allowed.
• The minimum parking requirements.
• A noise and issues mitigation plan.
• An annual permit renewal process.

Your participation in this survey is important. By sharing your experiences and perspectives, you will help the County refine proposed regulations for vacation renatls to better serve communities. All feedback gathered will be considered alongside other requirements, such as:

• Functionality of new rules and regulations.
• Flexibility of new rules and regulations.
• Current resources and future use.
